Arrow Casting Scoop

The executive producers of Arrow have dug up another DC character to add to their ever-growing roster and this time it is James Callis (Battlestar Galactica) as The Dodger (via TV Guide). For the series, the character is described as “an elusive international jewel thief who imposes his plans on the innocent, forcing them to carry out his crimes under duress.”

The episode which he will appear in is described as follows: “When the Sherwood Ruby goes missing in Starling City, the ensuing investigation leads Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) straight to The Dodger, but apprehending him won’t be as easy as they may have thought.”

Arrow is now on winter break and won’t return with 1×10, ‘Burned,’ until Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 8pm on The CW.
